You've created a mapped drive for the SYSTEM account but just like any other user account, these aren't really accessible to all users. While the FAQ points to the Users Guide that has lots of info and options for configuring access, you may find you can get by with connecting to the network share you want as part of the login script for each user. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
